Yes and no. On the one hand, it's a little sharper than the kit lens when wide open. On the other hand, f/2.8 is not that much brighter than the f/3.5 on the kit lens when the kit lens is zoomed out. Also, image stabilization is very handy on the kit lens if you're not using a tripod.

There is some quality benefit, but I think in most cases, not a lot.

This is great info - thanks so much!  It will be stable on a tripod, not going to use it for vlogging.  I'll be sure to keep it wide open.  This helps a lot, thank you!!
